FIH To Announce Replacement Team For Men's Junior World Cup After Pakistan's Late Withdrawal
Junior World Cup Tamil Nadu: The International Hockey Federation (FIH) will soon be announcing a team to replace Pakistan in the Men's Junior World Cup to be held in Tamil Nadu from November 28. The Pakistan Hockey Federation (FIH) has intimated the FIH that its team will not be travelling to India to participate in the event on the advice of its government.
"We can confirm that the Pakistan Hockey Federation has notified the International Hockey Federation (FIH) that its team, initially qualified for the upcoming FIH Hockey Men’s Junior World Cup Tamil Nadu 2025, won’t participate eventually. The team replacing Pakistan for this event will be announced soon," the FIH informed IANS in a statement on Friday.
The late withdrawal leaves the FIH in a fix as it had delayed conducting the draw for the event to be held in Chennai and Madurai for nearly a month, allowing Pakistan time to consult its government on its participation. The FIH had gone ahead with the draw ceremony, usually conducted in the host city/country, in its headquarters in Lausanne.
